Try

I went to swim after work today.

Goal: Non-stop freestyle 2 km.(The longest distance I have never swum in my life before)

I’ve never thought of this either, god knows how I had this idea right before I went to the pool. I always skip dinner by the way, so maybe my energy would be used up soon after 1km. But  I still wanted to give it a try. Challenge?

Surprisingly, I kept going on and on, almost forgot how many meters were waiting ahead.

In the last 500 meters, I even speeded up. My arms hurt and I had toe cramps afterwards. However, I held on until the last moment.  When finished the last round and reached the pool wall, I started to cry badly.

It was a wonderful feeling when you made something that you thought you couldn’t make. It was also like a feeling that sometimes you thought you used up all you can and would fall into an endless darkness… but you saved yourself in time.

You are the only one who can save yourself from any prostration.

My tears disappeared in the water anyway, so no one noticed that I was crying.
